some compositions i have to hand, i.e. in digital form:
'The London Eye' (Horatian alcaics):
uides ut alti per nitidas means
caeli, palumbes albide, semitas
cursusque praecelsos quietus
pectoribus uolitam serenis?
hic in cubili conspicuo super
urbem uirorum Londiniensium
plenam nec in pennis columbae
nec merulae sedeo coruscis,
sed ferrei me palma uolubilis
tutum gigantis certaque sustinet.
dum Phoebus intonsus pererrat
aetherium radiansque cursum,
labor gregem inter, candide auis, tuam,
nec Noctiluca desuper omnia
crescente tranquilla sedile
deserere hunc cupio uolantem.
hic inter auras despiciens leues
uisu recurrantem in Thamesim uago
nunc ipse quaerenti quietem
inuenio mihi quam malignum
praebere cordi Londinium nequit.
florent nefandis criminibus uiae
uerbisque probrosis sed arte
Pieriisque carent Camenis.
a! triste uerum nunc fateor tibi,
dulcis palumbes: hic mea corpora,
conclusa in angusta cauerna
et uitrea, resident relicta.
sed corda molles inter arundines
lymphasque lenti nunc remanet Cami
qua litteris omnes in ipsis
abdere se sine fine possunt,
ergo trementi nunc animo moror
dum siue Virtus integra sordidam
constansque ad hanc urbem recurrat,
siue ferox pedibus Procrustes
Scerionque demens effugiant citis.
imple canoris carminibus tuis
nostras, inornate ales, aures
sollicitas trepidamque mentem.
nunc palma rursus barbara me leuat
ex urbe prauo sed miserum in polum;
nunc aegra mens rursus reuoluens
ad patriam uolitat fidelem.

Fraternitas (Ovidian elegiacs)
My boyish days are nearly gone,
My breast is not unsullied now;
And worldly cares and woes will soon
Cut their deep furrows on my brow--
And life will take a darker hue
From ills my brother never knew.
And human passions o'er my soul
Now hold their dark and fell control:
And fear and envy, hate and rage,
Proclaim approaching manhood's age.
And I have made me bosom friends,
And loved and link'd my heart with others;
But who with mine his spirit blends,
As mine was blended with my brother's?
When years of rapture glided by,
The spring of life's unclouded weather,
Our souls were knit, and thou and I,
My brother, grew in love together.
The chain is broke which bound us then--
When shall I find its like again?
from My Brother's Grave, J. Moultrie (1816)
Nunc ego consumpsi prope tempora grata iuuentae:
pectora non curis intemerata fero.
anxietas mordax uiuendique aspera cura
sulcabit frontem plurima ruga meam.
tunc mea uita nigrans acri uelamine fiet
plenaque, quae fratri non patienda, malis.
tunc animi motus hominum per corda patentes
me stimulo saeuo perfodiente regunt.
formido liuorque uirilia tempora signant,
et furor et rabies, esse futura mihi.
uincula amicitiae notae carissima feci
et mea sola aliis pectora uinxit amor.
quis sua corda meis miseris immiscet amator
corda uelut fratri sunt bene mixta meis?
dum fugiunt anni, uer tam iuuenale quietis,
tunc anima est animae nostra ligata suae.
quam bene me miserum, quam te quoque, frater adempte,
olim perpetuus nos duo fouit amor!
nunc sunt uincla, quibus uincti sumus, omnia fracta -
a! quando uinclis talibus ipse fruar?
Audenda (Tragic Trims)
Death closes all; but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks;
The long day wanes; the slow moon climbs; the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends.
'T is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
From Ulysses, Tennyson (written 1833)

'junk mail' (general elegiacs)
est mihi nil melius quam laetas scribere chartas
mittereque in sociam talia uerba domum.
cur tamen accipio non chartas comis amici
sed magis a prauis scripta nefanda uiris?
dic mihi quid mercem uacuam utilitate requiram:
quid mihi cum nugis, quid leuibusue mihi?
est nihil (ut dixi) melius quam sumere chartas
mittereque in calidum talia uerba focum!
